Ingredients
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 12 oz garlic cheese chicken sausage sliced
- 2 medium zucchinis halved lengthwise and sliced into half moons
- 1 15 oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 10 oz package cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp fresh basil chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Let's Make It
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken sausage and zucchini. Cook until sausage is browned and zucchini is slightly tender, 4–5 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes (with juices), tortellini, chicken broth, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes, until tortellini is tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with parmesan and extra basil, if desired.
- I sometimes like to add a little heavy cream to make it a little more creamy, but its great without it!
